<a href="http://66.70.181.237/sf/files/baywatch.wmv">Baywatch</a> , as practiced in Birmingham U.K.
A little spoof of Baywatch, filmed around one of <a href="http://psm.abs.aston.ac.uk/pspa.html">Brums </a>landmark pieces of public art.
It made me laugh anyway. (windows media player required)post:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570Mon, 05 May 2003 08:24:34 -0800Fat BuddhaBaywatchBirminghamwmvspoofsparodiesBy: MiguelCardosohttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#484569
Ha Ha! Thanks, Fat Buddha! Another great Baywatch spoof was the gleaming-white-teeth, slow-motion classic by French and Saunders.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-484569Mon, 05 May 2003 08:30:44 -0800MiguelCardosoBy: Pretty_Generichttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#484573
And you thought New Yorkers tended to ignore things. In Britain it's like an oriental art.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-484573Mon, 05 May 2003 08:35:41 -0800Pretty_GenericBy: Pretty_Generichttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#484575
That second link is perhaps the single worst website I've ever seen, if only because of its "academic" status.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-484575Mon, 05 May 2003 08:40:41 -0800Pretty_GenericBy: Fat Buddhahttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#484587
Having looked again, I think I would have to agree the second link is terrible. Sorry.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-484587Mon, 05 May 2003 08:51:58 -0800Fat BuddhaBy: Wittyhttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#484591
This kind of stunt reminds me a <a href="http://www.triggerhappytv.com/">Trigger Happy TV</a> on Comedy Central. That show cracks me up.comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-484591Mon, 05 May 2003 09:05:50 -0800WittyBy: plephttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#484621
It's very Midlands. Thanks, FB, for reminding me of home. ;)comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-484621Mon, 05 May 2003 09:45:30 -0800plepBy: Samizdatahttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#485019
Quite amusing. Thanks much. (Currently waiting for a commercial in the wife's show to drag her over to see it.)comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.25570-485019Mon, 05 May 2003 17:22:42 -0800SamizdataBy: tiamathttp://www.metafilter.com/25570/Baywatch#485022
